AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
paixdor This movie matched the experiment perfectly and while it was beautifully executed and super enthralling is extremely horrific and traumatizing to see what normal humans can become
leethomas-11621 Disturbing film leaves you wishing for more clarity but I guess you can interpret the results for yourself. Maybe the director pulled his punches in the end for it lacks a real resolution. But this may be one movie where the director knows it's best to present the facts without interpretation.
blapple90 The fact that this actually happened at a college, and Stanford nonetheless, just blows me away. Such an interesting story about what happens when people are put into a situation like this. Awesome movie
jtncsmistad The question you will be continually asking yourself while watching the docudrama "The Stanford Prison Experiment" is this: "Why in the HELL don't these kids posing as the incarcerated just say, "F it, man! I'm OUTTA here!" And then the more disturbing question emerges. Why on EARTH did the bulk of them EVER choose to stay?
